Lalu France

"This is continuing the narrative from the previous brilliant 'Paint The Sky' album. Not an easy task, but French composer and keyboarder Vivien Lalu is capable of holding up that niveau. At least, if not more, time will tell. Just maintain a successfully running system. The recording line up has only slightly changed, by adding keyboarder Matt Daniel, who is contributing some Hammond and piano parts, as well as spacy synths. You will enjoy the allmighty Damian Wilson again on the lead vocals. Splendid musicianship is half the battle, right? The other half is required by the quality of the compositions. And so lovers of straight rock music with sing along character will get their money's worth either way. But the same goes for the Prog connoisseur who is keen on elaborated arrangements and virtuoso instrumental outworking."

"Technically flawless, and emotionally absolutely touching. Actually the album is having its roots more in Heavy Progressive Art Rock than genuine Prog Metal. Some songs are coming closer to the likes of Lifesigns, Toto or Saga, the compositions oftenly are featuring proper sing-along character. Damian Wilson shines with a brilliant multi-varianted vocal performance."
